Product Integration - cockpit-project/cockpit GitHub Wiki

The ideals of Cockpit says that "Users of Cockpit should feel they are interacting with the underlying Server OS, not with Cockpit." so Cockpit should only be used as a project name, and not visible to the end user.

Hence, when integrating with Cockpit from another management UI, that has the ability to access a Cockpit session, it should not be called Cockpit there either.

Recommendations

  • Use a button labelled with the verb "Access Web Console" (note: Headline Case)
  • If there are several ways to access a host, such as RDP, Spice etc. Put those in a dropdown labeled "Access" and then present the different actions in the dropdown.
